Because I am pretending that spring is a gentle thing.  Actually it can be quite violent--but I'm in charge of this music so it's gentle. :)

Thank you to David Dunham for his relentless help in mastering my tracks

Frida Boccara won the Eurovision Songfestival in 1969 with this song. It's a ballad with classical style. The Dutch pianist Louis van Dijk made an improvisation on this theme. There was no notation of it so I (16 years old) notated this piece note by note with the help of a taperecorder.
The work of a monk... By this presentation I used The new Ivory Grand selection which sounds marvellous! I recommend the Ivory sections to any serious piano player. Using the KAWAI VPC 1 with wooden, weight keys makes the total picture compleet as playing on a real Steinway!

This composition, "Memoriae Gregorianae," features three "Kyrie Gregoriani" themes:
The first was sung (and notated by me) at the Mass for the enthronement of Pope Leo.
The second theme is the Kyrie theme from the Mass "Cum Jubilo" (IX. - In Festis B. Mariae Virgis).
The third theme is taken from the Mass "In Dominicis Adventus et Quadragesimae" (XVII).
The themes are prepared, introduced, and varied by me very freely.

Questa composizione, “Memoriae Gregorianae” presenta tre temi di “Kyrie Gregoriani”:
il 1° è stato cantato (e da me annotato) nella S. Messa di intronizzazione di papa Leone.
il 2° tema è il tema del Kyrie della Messa “CUM JUBILO” (IX. - In Festis B. Mariae Virgis).
il 3° tema è tratto dalla Messa “In Dominicis Adventus et Quadragesimae” (XVII).
I temi sono da me preparati, introdotti e variati molto liberamente.

“In everybody’s life there’s a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can’t go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That’s how we survive.” - Haruki Murakami
I invite you to listen to my piano improvisation "Nowhere to Return".

Nowhere to Return - Improvised Piano Piece

Made this piece with the Claire Fazioli piano. I think it has a positive proud vibe and a radio like tune. Hope you like it....

my take on Yanni’s One Man’s Dream 🎹🎻
Piano, woodwinds, brass, and strings, all performed, arranged, and mixed by me in a full weekend!😅

One Man's Dream

Clearly melancholy from the start with some similarities to SWW2.1; when the melody returns after silence the mood is far more intense: acutely pained, and fading to an uneasy, frozen world.

SWW25.5

I'm Antonio Porrino (Tonino).
Graduated in Physics in March 1979, I was Researcher in Theoretical Nuclear Physics at the "Federico II" University of Naples until November 2019.
I studied music, initially at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Maiella in Naples and then self-taught piano, organ and composition.
I have been married to Anna since July 1982 and we have 5 children, Fabio, Luca, Francesca, Cecilia, Vincenzo and 3 grandchildren, Antonio, Sofia and Vincenzo, Fabio's children, married to Sara.
I founded the polyphonic choir "Vicus Novanensis" in 1992 and in 2019 "I Cantori di Maria", which have collected the legacy of the numerous "long distance adoptions" of the previous choir.
The musical activity takes place mainly at the "Pontifical Minor Basilica of Maria Santissima Assunta" in Santa Maria a Vico (Italy).
I have composed music of various genres.
My music would like to express and transmit feelings of peace, serenity and joy, contrasting those of war, hatred and oppression that seem to prevail on planet Earth, causing the degradation of the natural environment that guards us.

Sono Antonio Porrino, per tutti Tonino.
Laureato in Fisica nel marzo 1979, sono stato Ricercatore di Fisica Nucleare Teorica presso l'Università "Federico II" di Napoli fino a novembre 2019. 
Ho studiato Musica, inizialmente presso il Conservatorio di San Pietro a Maiella di Napoli e poi pianoforte, organo e composizione da autodidatta.
Sono sposato con Anna dal luglio 1982 e abbiamo 5 figli, Fabio, Luca, Francesca, Cecilia, Vincenzo e 3 nipoti, Antonio, Sofia e Vincenzo, figli di Fabio, sposato con Sara. 
Ho fondato nel 1992 il Coro polifonico "Vicus Novanensis" e nell'anno 2019 "I Cantori di Maria", che hanno raccolto l'eredità delle numerose "adozioni a distanza" del precedente coro. 
L'attività musicale si svolge prevalentemente presso la "Basilica Pontificia Minore di Maria Santissima Assunta" di Santa Maria a Vico (Italy). 
Ho composto brani musicali di vario genere. 
La mia musica vorrebbe esprimere e trasmettere sentimenti di pace, di serenità e di gioia, contrastando quelli di guerra, odio e sopraffazione che sembrano prevalere sul pianeta Terra, provocando la degradazione dell'ambiente naturale che ci custodisce.
Alcune delle mie musiche sono anche su youtube (porrinomusic)
